Malaga is famous for its high-rise hotels and beachside resorts. With views that rival those in places like Rio de Janeiro and even Spain’s very own Barcelona, it would be a crime to visit Malaga and not go to a rooftop bar.

And, one of the best bars in Malaga for rooftop views happens to be the terrace at the top of Hotel Room Mate Larios.

Snag a seat on one of their comfy sofas, order your favourite drink, and enjoy tapas as you gaze out onto some of the best views in the city.

If you’re looking to truly immerse yourself in Andalusian culture, then head off near the Roman theatre and spend the evening at Bodega Bar El Pimpi.

This historic bar is filled with wooden barrels signed by some of its most famous visitors, such as Antonio Bandera. Expect tasty tapas, lots of locals, and passion-filled flamenco nights at least once a week.
